Power
Failure Cancels Racing at Bluegrass Speedway
Bardstown,
KY- September 18, 2010- About halfway through UMP Street Stock time trials at
7:30 p.m., a widespread power outage occurred in the Nelson County area and
after a one hour delay, track promoters David and Anita Ferrell were forced to
cancel the racing program for the evening.
With
the county-wide noise ordinance curfew of 11:00 p.m., there would be no way to
conclude the racing program by the designated and without knowing what time
power might be restored, along with the safety of race fans in the darkened
grandstand area, the decision was made to cancel the racing program for the
evening.
A
total of 15 Super Late Models, 12 UMP Modifieds, 12 UMP Street Stocks, and 8 UMP
Sportsman were on hand and Joey Daniel was the top qualifier in Super Late Model
time trials at 14.917 seconds before the power outage took place.
All
tickets and pit passes will be honored from the cancellation at the regular
season finale event on Saturday September 25.
Also, anyone from the August 14 rainout that has a ticket or pit pass,
those will also be honored that evening as well.
The
next scheduled event at Bluegrass Speedway will be the 2010 season finale that
will feature the $300 to win special for UMP Street Stocks that was cancelled on
September 18, along with a $400 to win special for the WBRT 1320-AM UMP
Sportsman, which will be a tribute to the late Bob Jones.
Also in action will be the 44 Auto Mart Super Late Models, paying $1,000
to win and the UMP Modifieds, paying $500 to win.
